How I Found Christian Science December 2, 2019 Issue

I was a seeker for Truth

When I first learned of Christian Science, I was searching for healing, as I had been ill for 14 years with a physical condition that the doctors could not diagnose or cure. During a radio broadcast of The Herald of Christian Science I heard about a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and I listened to testimonies from those who were healed mentally and physically by reading Science and Health. Even the doctor I had consulted about my illness had mentioned the book.

I got my own copy of Science and Health, and at the end of the Preface I read these words regarding the author: “... she commits these pages to honest seekers for Truth” (p. xii). I was one of these seekers. I continued reading the book on and off for about four months, and by the time I finished, the symptoms of illness had vanished. I was no longer suffering.

My family felt I had found something precious in Christian Science. And I thought, If I can be healed of the illness, why not of the premonitions?
